In just a few years, wind power has gone from the fringe to the mainstream, as witness Windpower 2008, with 10,000 expected participants and GE and BP as their “tera-watt” sponsors. It’ll be held next week in Texas where T. Boone Pickens recently ordered $2bn of wind turbines to make the biggest wind farm ever.

Being a former White House press secretary, Scott McLellan had to know that the Right would attack him viciously for his book, yet he went ahead with it anyway, a commendable and courageous act indeed.
“The White House would prefer that I not talk openly about my experiences… I have a higher loyalty than my loyalty necessary to my past work. That’s a loyalty to the truth.” - Scott McLellan
I thin it was one of the Huxley’s who responded to a attack that he’d changed his views on an issue by saying, when I receive new information I often change my mind, what do you do when that happens?

“The press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war presented in way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president’s high approval ratings,” Yellin said.
Except now even Scott McLellan says the war was based on lies and deception. Considering that plenty of Left news sources and blogs were printing the truth then, those corporate executives had to know what the actual truth was. They deliberately repressed the truth, and a free press along with it.

In BushWorld, Condi Rice is a moderate because she opposes war with Iran. She apparently is being purged.
Why? The neocons want a more “forceful pursuit of the President’s aim to make history.” Which means they are both desperate and dangerous.
Perhaps this time, the mainstream media won’t be compliant cheerleaders for war.

MetaEfficient has a comprehensive round-up of electric vehicles. The Triac (picured here) has just been released. It’ll do 70 mph, has a 120 mile range, and takes 6 hours to recharge. Looks to be a great commuting car.

As food prices rise and homemakers look for ways to cut back, sales of Spam are up big.
Notwithstanding Hawaii, where Spam has always been popular, this trend towards less expensive products is happening with other types of food too as well as with other purchases. The Sharper Image was an early casualty of this trend, they filed for bankruptcy in Feb.
